Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

I thought I would start an official pregame thread. And some news:

@JPFinlayNBCS
Wow - Washington cut Dustin Hopkins. Blewitt is the new kicker

Re: Packers Pregame Thread
 

Long overdue with Hopkins. Should have been axed after missing that FG in London against the Bengals. Feels like he's being scapegoated just a bit though.

If we see some real changes like Collins getting benched that will get my attention.

Sad Hopkins couldn't figure it out but onto the next guy. Hope Chris doesn't blewitt.

Ok I'll show myself out.

Re: Packers Pregame Thread
 

You cut the kicker yet you keep trotting Collins out there? 🕵

I'm with you. Like I said last week or the one before, I have no issue with the "our way or the highway" coaching approach. But you gotta be ready to actually send people on the highway, otherwise you're just a glorified version of my middle school match teacher ([SIZE="1"]you cunt I hope you read this[/SIZE]).
Collins should be benched, at the very least. Maybe Fuller gets one more week because of his lucky pick last week, but not much longer. McCain and WJ3 should be on short leashes too. Then our DEs don't have anymore excuses and need to produce or be ready to see their playing time decrease even more.

Re: Packers Pregame Thread
 

Par for course

Re: Packers Pregame Thread
 

While I’m glad Hopkins finally got the axe, I’m pretty sure this means he’ll go on with another team and go on a 2 year kicking spree never missing a FG over 50 yards and going 98% on XPs.

This is another loss. Next

Onto the Broncos? Ok.

This should be a winnable game if we get our act together - Broncos aren't worldbeaters at the moment.

Re: Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

There are a lot of other players that need to be held accountable, but let's stop acting like Hopkins didn't bring this on himself. Personally, I think he should have been cut when he missed those two PATs.

To be fair it was a horrible snap.

If KC held our offense to 13, then Denver may hold them to 6 or 9. Their offense can surely score more than that against this defense...so that's another loss.

Re: Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

Hopkins has a big leg, but if you max distance is less than 50 and accuracy is like 50% over 40…then it’s time to move on.

This is a fine move, but Collins cut needs to happen immediately after the season and designated post June 1. If this doesn’t happen, I will move to fire Ron and the front office. I will become anti-Ron and anti-Meyhew because it will show pure incompetence in the front office again and a culture of accountability isn’t honest

Ok... so we're onto Tampa Bay now?

Re: Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

Excited to see Lambeau and Rodgers live. Hopefully it’s not too brutal of a beat down

Just heard that Blewitt's last kick in an actual game was in 2016...he went 10 of 17 that year for FGs.

Re: Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

Our new kickers name is blew-itt?

Lol this should work perfectly for us.

Exactly. Meet the new Graham Gano.

Next cut should be Rivera's game strategy.

Kicks a FG on 4th and 6 when we're playing the CHIEFS. Not to mention it was 3rd and 2. Tell the team we're running twice if need be to get this 1st down and get on with it.

Meanwhile against the Saints he goes for it on 4th and 10 when a FG could have really helped us in a winnable game.

Rivergoat...

Come back in, and then get out again.

Re: Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

I can here it now from Boomer on Prime Time "Chris I hope he doesn't Blewitt for the win!"

Re: Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

Hopkins was the least of our problems, albeit his 94% overall on XP's is never doing him any favours. To me this is just a cheap way for RR to say I'm not afraid to cut/bench guys for failure. But if he's not prepared to bench guys like Collins, that don't play up to their contract level, then its an empty gesture.

I'd consider benching all the under performing defensive players for the 1st quarter against GB if you want to send a real message. I mean, it probably wouldn't do much harm anyway...

Agree , this is all Ron saying "I have control" which he doesn't. The team sucks and he knows the fans are over it, look at the stadium weekly at Fedex.. Nobody goes to the games. He's trying to save the little fans he has left.

Spot on mate. Rivera has taken a bollocking on this message board.
His tenure with the team went all to pot since the day he started that knob Haskins.

This team has me knackered, I'm going to start throwing a wobbly if things don't change.

I view him as a dog turd and another Bruce mistake.

Collins can’t cover

aka Fitz isn't ready to come back yet and benching TH for KA doesn't accomplish anything, might as well ride it out until RF can play

This is where I wish we had a mid/late round rookie QB, so we can throw him in there to see what they got.

Turner needs to figure out how to get a running game going. But with Gibson injured, this is going to be a problem.

LOOK!


Its been kind of a rough day, I am currently on the phone with Fanatics trying to cancel my WFT #3 jersey I order yesterday, been saving up for awhile now.

I just want remember the good times with DH.

Re: Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

WFT has to be opportunistic here.

The Packers are hurting at CB. The rest of their D looks incredibly solid. I have seen nothing that tells me TH can take advantage of the CB play but maybe Terry Dyami and Humpy can.

Right now I think the 1st half will be closer than expected. Packers coming off a road win against their big rival and have AZ on short week after Football Team and then KC. The possibility of them looking ahead gives me hope of an enjoyable half before they put their foot down.

I view him as a bad overpaid football player but Ron doesn't care what I think.

Re: Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

Rodgers and Adams are going to absolutely shred our D. Load up on Packers for fantasy.

He's got the downhill part down pat.

Re: Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

Dustin Hopkins was yet another Scot McCloughan acquisition that was subpar along with Josh Doctson and Mart Jones........

Re: Packers Pregame Thread (Hopkins cut)
 

Ron Rivera called Collins a down hill linebacker....publicly ..... maybe hes waking up its what i heard
